address@hidden: Bug#369254: groff: groff_man s/become usage/become common/]

[Colin Watson]

While this was reported against groff 1.18.1.1 and the patch doesn't
quite apply any more, the substance of the report is still valid with
groff CVS HEAD, and I agree with the English improvement (or maybe
"become standard usage"?). Here's an updated patch.
